NEW TO DAUNTLESS
RADIANT ESCALATION: LEGENDARY LANTERN AMPS
We’ve heard the feedback on Escalation variance and we know that powerful amps can turn a regular run into an exciting or surprising adventure. In Radiant Escalation, we’ve added Legendary Lantern Amps that are only available with a particular lantern equipped. While rare, these amps are extremely powerful and mix up Escalation runs in truly legendary ways. Shrike’s Zeal and Broadsides Lantern are the first lanterns with Legendary Lantern Amps.
- The Zealous Strikes legendary amp is only available to Slayers with the Shrike’s Zeal Lantern equipped. All Slayers within your Shrike’s Zeal aura strike twice with each attack.
- The Broadside Barrage legendary amp is only available to Slayers with the Broadside Lantern equipped. When activating your lantern, drop a long line of bombs that each deal 2750 damage and interrupt Behemoths.
BALANCE
QUESTS
- Completing the quest Meltdown now rewards 20 Combat merits instead of 10.
- The quest Lock. Load. Repeat. now requires crafting Quillshot’s repeaters, instead of any repeater.
- The quest Scrutiny on the Bounty now unlocks only after unlocking Milestone IV: Forge and Formula in the Slayer’s Path.
RADIANT ESCALATION

QUALITY OF LIFE
CHRONOVORE
- Changed the player animation portion of the Chronovore’s sync attack to have more weight and feel more natural. You still don’t want to get eaten by the Chronovore.
ALYRA
- Added a new stagger animation for when Alyra’s tail is cut.
- Improved animation during Alyra’s breath attacks.
NAYZAGA
- Improved Nayzaga’s hit detection so that hitting and being hit by its head more accurately matches what Slayers see during combat.

UI
- Removed the “All” and “Friend and Guild” options from Whisper settings menu. Whispers can only be received by Epic Friends so we’ve removed the misleading settings options.
- The Middleman now appears on the compass in Ramsgate. He’s still very mysterious, though.
AUDIO
- Each pillar in the Radiant Escalation puzzle now plays a unique sound when turned.
